Summary: “I was certainly a fool,” Colin says. “I lived my formative years in the presence of my parents’ undeniable love. I knew my match with Marina did not compare, and still, I rendered her a proposal. It is quite astounding to consider now.”
“I am so sorry that your first love treated you with such cruelty,” Penelope says, cradling his fingers. “I am very grateful to be your second love, so that I may ensure you always feel loved in return.”
In the early days of their marriage, Colin and Penelope receive a congratulatory letter from Marina. It prompts some reflection on the girls he touched before his wife, and the women that have shaped his life.

Summary: Giggling, Pen relaxes against his body. Once again, he marvels at how well they fit together. “A movie sounds great, Colin. What are we watching?”
“You’ll see…” he says as he hits play.
The screen starts out black. Then, Colin’s voice from just over ten years ago. “Pen, if you’re nervous, we don’t have to do this. It’s okay.”
“It was my idea, wasn’t it?” Pen’s younger voice shakes a bit, but she sounds determined.
Current-day Penelope gasps and whirls around. “Colin, you didn’t! How did you find it?”
Colin smirks and pauses the video.
Shortly after they had gotten engaged, Pen had called him late one night, tipsy. She’d had a brilliant idea—to record their first time having sex.
OR
The one where Colin and Penelope make a sex tape of their first time, and watch it together on their tenth anniversary.

This is a follow-up fic to Five Feet To Be Exact and picks up a few years after the epilogue. I don’t think you have to read the first one necessarily to follow along, but I’d definitely recommend it!

Summary: There's something new to Penelope these days. Something in her eyes, maybe, or her skin. A clarity; clarity built by love and light and a life built with the man she has loved since childhood.
There is a visible clarity caused by endless pleasure, the pleasure of partnership and partnering... and frankly, yes, Penelope can see it reflected back at her when she takes herself in at the looking glass.
She can see it in the double takes as she and Colin enter balls now.
But she can see it most in the way Colin's eyes shine over every time she enters a room. The way he swallows, the way he grips his chest sometimes as if the feeling is attempting escape.
And when it is particularly shocking to him, when she has really pleased him, in the way her husband drops to his knees.
As he does in this moment.
"You... are..." he shakes his head in incredulity as she approaches.
Is it the red? They never get to wear red.
AKA: Colin and Pen get to wear red because they are hosting a Christmas party, which inexplicably turns them on.

Summary: "He was supposed to make life easier.
One thing to check off her weekly to-do list – because after a long day of working for one of the largest publishing companies in the world, why the hell would she want to spend what little energy she has left on cooking?
But it’s Sunday, and Penelope is once again neglecting her weekly chores because she is completely fucking distracted by the gorgeous home chef currently making all kinds of magic in her tiny, less-than-ideal kitchen."
